The Department of Radiodiagnosis from its inception, continues to play an important and significant role in the over all health care and academic activities of the Institute.  The department is well equipped with various imaging equipments such as Digital X-Ray and fluroscopy machines, Ultrasound / colour Doppler machines, Mammography Unit, Whole body CT Scanners as well as 1.5 Tesla MRI equipment, Digital Subtraction Angiography. PACS is present for efficient reporting.

The Department has a full fledged Seminar room with a dedicated computer and LCD projector for teaching program for MD, B.Sc, M.Sc students.  PACS room is present where cross section reporting is done. During the year patients are referred for Investigation from all over Karnataka State as well as from neighboring states. Tests are performed not only for malignant disorders, but also for non-malignant conditions. Institute patients, Staff Members and referral patients from other hospitals are being regularly investigated.

The department is staffed with well-qualified and trained personnel.

Academic Activities

• MCI recognized MD Radiodiagnosis course is being conducted in the department commencing from year 2019-20 two candidates per year are enrolled.

• Senior Residents are allotted through Department of Health and Family welfare. Six posts are available for the same.
• RGUHS recongnized M.Sc course is conducted for duration of two years. 10 seats are allotted every year.
• Sc., medical Technology (Radiodiagnosis) Course-3 Years is run by the department. Several batches of Students are going through this course, which is of 3 Years duration.

Post Graduate, Under Graduate Students from various Medical Colleges are trained in various departments of Institute including Radiodiagnosis. Post Graduate students of various branches  in the Institute Vis., M.ch, (Surgical oncology) MD., (Radiotherapy), Diploma in Nuclear medicine, DM., (Medical Oncology) Other B.Sc., Courses also attend regular postings in the department of Radiodiagnosis. Similarly MD and DMRD students from various MCI recognized institutes of Karnataka are posted on rotation basis in the department.

Radiologists and Technicians are given specialized training specifically in radiography, Ultrasonography, CT scanner, MRI & DSA.

Thrice weekly teaching program – Seminars/Case Presentation/journal clubs is undertaken in the department.

Interactive discussions within department and interdepartmental Residents and Faculty are mainstay of knowledge transfer.

Tumor Board Meetings are conducted with Department of Paediatrics ( Kidwai),Department of Paediatrics ( Indira Gandhi Child Care ),  Head & neck Oncology , Medical Oncology on a regular basis. Department also participates in institute tumor boards and mortality meetings.
